Do You Need A Grease Trap Installation?
If you manufacture, sell or prepare food, you need a grease trap.
It’s hard enough to start a business or relocate one, let alone have to worry about which grease trap services you need.
We are experts in grease trap installation and understand all the legalities and compliances that are involved. Choosing the right size Grease Trap (also known as a Grease Interceptor or Grease Arrestor) depends on the greasy water volume you’ll produce.
Capturing fats and greasy wastewater protects our sewerage systems and also prevents issues with the function of your business.
About Our Grease Trap Services
Citi Industries selects the right grease trap for your business and can take care of the hydraulic design, supply and installation.
We’ll assess and confirm the right size of grease trap, as well as the correct placement. Citi Industries knows, meets and fulfils all standards of grease trap regulations set by local city councils and water authorities, plus we install a backflow prevention device with each grease trap.
All the grease traps we supply are high-quality and have a manufacturers’ warranty, so you have years of trouble-free operation and no unpleasant smells for your clients and staff.
The cost of a grease trap installation is an investment in your business, ensuring you legally comply with authority rules and protect the sewerage system. You want a quality product that will work away silently so you can get on with running your business, and without the need for costly repairs or re-installation.
Grease Trap Installation And
Maintenance
Not sure where to start? You don’t have to worry because your grease trap will be installed the right way by our highly experienced licensed trade wastewater plumbing professionals.
We install all grease traps methodically so wastewater drains into the trap then into the sewer. If this doesn’t suit your establishment, then we can fit it to flow into an under-sink pump or pump well. The grease trap will drain into the pump well and then pump the wastewater from there into the sewerage system.
Our plumbers connect the inlet to the grease trap and ensure there is a minimum of one-metre clear space. This provides access to monitor the grease trap and ensures that you are able to open the lids so it can be maintained and serviced.
We can create your hydraulic plumbing design, supply your grease trap or install it for you. Or we can handle the entire project for you! That way you can trust it’s handled professionally and you can get back to more important business.

Grease Trap Installation: Comprehensive FAQ Guide
What is a Grease Trap and Why is it Important?
A grease trap is a crucial component in managing kitchen waste and maintaining a clean plumbing system. It is designed to intercept fats, oils, and grease (FOG) that are commonly found in food waste. By capturing these substances, a grease trap prevents them from entering the wastewater system and causing blockages and environmental damage.
Proper grease trap installation ensures effective waste management and helps to avoid costly plumbing issues and potential fines for non-compliance with environmental regulations.
Why Should I Invest in Professional Grease Trap Installation?
Investing in professional grease trap installation is essential for several reasons:
- Compliance with Regulations: Many regions have strict regulations regarding grease management. Professional installation ensures that your system meets all local codes and standards, avoiding potential fines and legal issues.
- Optimal Performance: Professionals have the expertise to choose the right size and type of grease trap for your needs, ensuring that it functions efficiently and effectively.
- Longevity and Maintenance: Proper installation extends the lifespan of your grease trap and reduces the need for frequent repairs. Professional services also often include maintenance recommendations and services.
- Preventing Environmental Impact: A well-installed grease trap helps to minimize the environmental impact of waste disposal by ensuring that FOGs are properly contained and managed.
What Factors Should I Consider When Choosing a Grease Trap?
When selecting a grease trap, consider the following factors:
- Capacity: Choose a grease trap with the appropriate capacity for your kitchen’s size and volume of waste. An undersized trap will require more frequent cleaning, while an oversized one might be unnecessarily costly.
- Type: There are various types of grease traps, including gravity grease interceptors, hydromechanical grease interceptors, and automatic grease removal units. The type you choose should match your specific needs and space constraints.
- Location: Grease traps can be installed indoors or outdoors. The location affects the installation process and maintenance accessibility.
- Maintenance Requirements: Different models have different maintenance needs. Consider how often the grease trap will need to be serviced and choose a model that fits your maintenance capabilities.
- Local Regulations: Ensure that the grease trap you select complies with local regulations and codes.
How is a Grease Trap Installed?
Grease trap installation involves several steps:
- Site Assessment: A professional will assess your kitchen’s layout and wastewater system to determine the best location and size for the grease trap.
- Design and Planning: Based on the assessment, a detailed plan is created, including the grease trap’s specifications and installation details.
- Excavation and Preparation: If the grease trap is to be installed underground, excavation is required. For indoor units, appropriate space and plumbing connections need to be prepared.
- Installation: The grease trap is installed according to the design plan, including plumbing connections to ensure proper flow and function.
- Testing: After installation, the system is tested to ensure there are no leaks and that it functions correctly.
- Training and Documentation: The installer will provide training on how to operate and maintain the grease trap, along with documentation for future reference.
How Often Should a Grease Trap Be Cleaned?
The frequency of grease trap cleaning depends on several factors:
- Volume of Waste: Higher waste volumes will require more frequent cleaning.
- Type of Food Service Operation: Busy restaurants or food service operations will need to clean their grease traps more often compared to smaller or less busy establishments.
- Local Regulations: Some areas have specific guidelines for grease trap maintenance intervals.
As a general rule, grease traps should be cleaned every 1-3 months. However, regular inspections and adjustments based on usage and local regulations are recommended to ensure optimal performance.
What Are the Signs That My Grease Trap Needs Maintenance?
Signs that your grease trap needs maintenance include:
- Slow Draining Sinks: If sinks and drains are slow, it may indicate a buildup of grease in the trap.
- Foul Odors: Unpleasant smells emanating from the sink or kitchen can be a sign of a clogged or malfunctioning grease trap.
- Backups or Overflows: Visible backups or overflows in the kitchen or plumbing system are a clear indication that the grease trap requires attention.
- High Levels of Grease: If the grease level in the trap is consistently high, it may need more frequent cleaning or adjustment.
How Can I Ensure My Grease Trap Functions Properly?
To ensure proper functioning of your grease trap:
- Regular Maintenance: Follow a regular maintenance schedule to clean and inspect the grease trap.
- Proper Use: Avoid disposing of non-food items and excessive amounts of grease down the drain.
- Monitor Performance: Keep an eye on the performance of your grease trap and address any issues promptly.
- Training Staff: Educate your staff about proper waste disposal practices to minimize the amount of grease entering the system.
What Are the Costs Associated with Grease Trap Installation?
The costs of grease trap installation vary based on several factors:
- Size and Type: Larger and more complex grease traps generally cost more to install.
- Location: Indoor installations may be less expensive compared to outdoor or underground installations, which require more extensive work.
- Site Preparation: Costs may increase if significant site preparation or modifications are needed.
- Additional Features: Features like automatic cleaning systems or high-tech monitoring may add to the cost.
On average, grease trap installation costs can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. For a precise quote, consult with a professional installer who can assess your specific needs and provide a detailed estimate.
How Can I Find a Reliable Grease Trap Installation Service?
To find a reliable grease trap installation service:

- Verify Credentials: Ensure that the company is licensed and insured, and that their technicians are certified and experienced.
